To improve the physicochemical properties of valnemulin (VLM), different solid forms formed by VLM and organic acids, including tartaric acid (TAR), fumaric acid (FUM), and oxalic acid (OXA), were successfully prepared and characterized by using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD), and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). The excess enthalpy Hex between VLM and other organic acids was calculated by COSMOthermX software and was used to evaluate the probability of forming multi-component solids between VLM and organic acids. By thermal analysis, it was confirmed that multi-component solid forms of VLM were thermodynamically more stable than VLM itself. Through dynamic vapor sorption (DVS) experiments, it was found that three multi-component solid forms of VLM had lower hygroscopicity than VLM itself. Furthermore, the intrinsic dissolution rate of VLM and its multi-component forms was determined in one kind of acidic aqueous medium by using UV-vis spectrometry. It was found that the three multi-component solid forms of VLM dissolved faster than VLM itself.

AbstractTurbot is a valuable commercial species due to its high nutrient content. Moisture is an important indicator of meat spoilage. This study elucidated distinctive water dynamics in turbot flesh in the freezing–thawing process by nondestructive low-field nuclear magnetic resonance (LF-NMR) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques.T2relaxation spectra were utilized to describe the mobility and content of different types of water. Principal component analysis (PCA) revealed a clear discrimination of various freezing–thawing cycles.T1- andT2-weighted MRI provided further visualization of internal information for turbot flesh. Microscopic examination clearly identified protein denaturation and structural shrinkage. Furthermore, NMR parameters and conventional physicochemical parameters of color, shear force and thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances showed good correlations. To sum up, the study revealed that LF-NMR and MRI are promising techniques to portray the relationship between the water dynamics and changes of turbot quality properties during the freezing–thawing process.
